Slot A Cooling

[Fatdog]

My Slot A 950 T-bird will be here on Tuesday, and I have an HSF question. I'm currently running a 750 classic on my K7pro 1.7 bios with the -64 clock on it. My case is the Enlight 7237 with 1 extra 80mm fan under the power supply. I'm running a generic dual fan heatsink on the 750, my temp at idle is 87f and goes up to 93f under load according to the bios. I have MBM 5 loaded and it agrees with the bios. Does any one know if the 950 t-bird will cool ok with that HSF. I don't overclock my cpu at all. I did a search of the threads, but all I could find were cooling suggestions for the socket cpu's. Any thoughts on this?

the faster the cpu the more heat it generates!

I have a Global Win VOS32 on my Athlon Classic 700 Slot A. It works great, but is really loud. THey sell them for pretty cheap at www.thecardcooler.com

I know it's going to put out more heat. I'm just wondering how much and if the HSF I have now will deal with it ok. It seems to do well with my 750. I think an alpha would be expensive overkill, but I want to be sure I don't cook the new t-bird.

Edit. Did some poking around, and it looks like I'm going with the vos32 and some arctic silver. Thanks
